The Best and Worst Flooring Options for Dog Owners

The Best and Worst Flooring Options for Dog Owners

When you live with a dog, these are the most sanitary and long-lasting solutions.

Having a dog affects many elements of your life, including your vacation plans, home bills, and the quantity of fur on your clothing. However, one of the most significant changes that occurs after having a dog (some varieties more than others) is the shift in your house.

Dogs, whether they're shoe-chewers, food-snatchers, or super-shedders, can wreck havoc on your home. This is especially true in the case of flooring. As it turns out, certain flooring is more suited to dogs than others. Here are a few to think about.

Best dog flooring options

Of all, every dog is unique, and your ideal canine may not be a problem at all. Or perhaps you have a strong affinity for a certain style of flooring that isn't the most dog-friendly, but you're prepared to put in the time and effort to keep it up. That's fantastic. Here are some alternatives for everyone else:
  • Waterproof vinyl flooring is slip-resistant, long-lasting, stain-resistant, low-cost, and soft underfoot.
  • Scratch-resistant, easy-to-clean (with bigger grout lines), water-resistant, and ideal for resale value [caveat: certain tile may be too slippery for elderly dogs]
  • Waterproof laminate flooring is scratch-resistant, simple to maintain, long-lasting, and cost-effective.

Worst types of dog flooring

It's one thing if you already have this sort of carpeting in your home before bringing a dog home. However, if you have a dog and are renovating your floors, you should avoid the following types of flooring:
  • Water (and other liquids) may cause damage to hardwood, which scratches easily and necessitates extra maintenance/upkeep.
  • Carpet: Doesn't take spills well (solids or liquids), is more difficult to clean, is more likely to trap fur/dander/fleas, and is prone to permanent stains.
  • Marble is a porous and soft stone that is susceptible to stains and scratches. Standing water (and other liquids) may be destructive.
Another approach to obtain the inside scoop on the best flooring for your dog is to ask other dog owners—ideally, those with dogs that are similar or the same breed as yours—about their flooring experiences. They'll almost certainly have useful information and guidance.
